If rain does come, it won’t arrive until around 6pm – missing Andy Murray’s opening match against David Goffin on centre court at 1pm.

A spokeswoman said: ‘There’s plenty of dry and fine weather this morning, a bit of cloud around at the moment but that will break and sunny spells will develop. Temperatures will be in the mid 20s for London and surrounding areas.’

Tomorrow temperatures could hit 24C in Wimbledon.

Patchy cloud, showers and sunshine will continue to be the theme for much of this week.
